Posted by: Xavier Kwan onApril 20th, 2016

Vin Diesel revealed today that the official launch date of the latest installment from the franchise, called Furious 8, will be April 14, 2017. This isn’t the first time the actor has shared information with the public. He initially teased us with a movie poster that had the signature Fast and Furious look to it, albeit with a New York backdrop revealing the movie’s planned location. Now, he releases another movie poster showing Toretto and his 1970’s Dodge Charger R/T and in big caption “New Roads Ahead”, likely signifying the closing of the last chapter with the departing story line of the late Paul Walker, and a journey into the new life ahead.

The Fast and Furious franchise continues to break box office records with the last installment, Furious 7, earning $1 billion world wide. In the genre of car movies, the Fast and Furious team has certainly found a winning combination that keeps viewers coming back for more.

Expect to see familiar faces like Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges reprise their roles in the upcoming movie. Also likely returning stars are Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham.
